Healing is Your Portion

Hello, welcome to Reflective Spaces Ministry. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler. Today, the Lord has prompted me to go live. And today's been a day for that. Make sure you tune into the Reflective Hour podcast and YouTube video that we did and released on coping with trauma through food and being set free from an addiction such as that. In that episode, I do talk about my personal journey, struggling with a food addiction and how Christ set me free. So do check out that on our YouTube channel, Reflective Spaces Ministry. It's under the live recording there or on Reflective Hour with Tammy Toney-Butler YouTube channel and all podcast platforms. We do recommend you watch it on YouTube since there was a PowerPoint that went with that. and photos of my journey through weight loss and healing. Now, this message today, now, Father wanted me to come on again. After I ran and fed the cows and did my chores, I quickly changed to accommodate Father. Holy Spirit, we just invite you into this, Lord Jesus. We just call forth your peace and your healing in this time that we have together. Oh, Father, it is in our weakness that you are made strong. Many of us are weak, weary because of the storms that we faced. the trials, Father, even now uncertainty around the election and the natural disasters that we've faced recently, wars, rumors of war. Oh, Father, help us to draw from your wellspring of living water and find strength through the hem of your garment as we sit at your feet And humble ourselves. Asking for your love, your forgiveness, your strength, your peace that surpasses all understanding. Oh, Father, thank you for never leaving us nor forsaking us. As it says in your word. Help me, Father. So they see you in this time together and not me. That you give them the words that you want. Because even if the ninety-nine are safe, you go after the one. I'm not sure who this word is for. I'm just obeying. Father, help that one to hear it, to have ears to hear spiritually and spiritual eyes to see. Help any veil to be lifted off, any blockages, any obstructions in the flow of this word from penetrating bone and marrow to be removed now in the name of Jesus. Let this word go forth and prosper. all who hear it may the chains of illness sicknesses addiction break in the name of jesus where there's power in that day thank you father thank you holy spirit thank you so glad everyone that's tuning in and and watching us and Father has placed on my heart now to read and talk to you about healing, recognizing that as followers of Christ, sickness is not our portion. Cancer is not our portion. Addiction is not our portion. We are healed. That's what it says in his word and it's past tense. The moment Jesus laid down his life on the cross for us sinners, his children. Through that act of love and obedience, he set us free from the bondage of sickness and death. He is our savior, our healer, our redeemer, our great physician. So if you're facing a diagnosis, gotten a bad doctor's report, struggling with addictions, depression, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, any of those things, know that that's not yours to bear. You're to give that to Jesus. He died so you could live. We only have to speak life over ourselves and our circumstances and speak to that storm you're facing and say, I rebuke you, cancer. I rebuke you, diabetes. I rebuke you, addiction. I believe in Christ Jesus. I believe in what the word of God says and I get to have abundant life. I will not agree to the diagnosis. I won't accept it because I accept what the word of God says and I will not back down from it. I will have courage in the face of any storm. I know, I know that I've been healed and set free through the blood shed at Calvary. Nothing will move me off the mountain of faith. And if you're having trouble now, you draw from my faith. You draw from my faith. Because you're drawing from the wellspring of living water. You're drawing from Jesus' healing well. And believe that you have been healed. Claim it in the name of Jesus. Now let's look to the scriptures so that we can seek his truth and his words forever. and put down any lies of Satan or the enemy, the enemies, those negative thoughts that try to intrude in your state of peace and tell you not to believe this word. We rebuke them in the name of Jesus. Listen with your heart, knowing that this word is true. You have been healed by the blood of Jesus. First, we're going to look at Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy, and remember, when we go to Deuteronomy, we're going to start with... Let's start with, I'm looking here, going through my book. Deuteronomy twenty-eight talks about the law and the curse of the law. And it talks about, you know, sicknesses and the things, um, that were placed on, um, individuals under that old curse of the law. But we know that Christ died to redeem us from the curse of the law. The Bible says all sickness and disease is a curse of the law. And it also says that Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law in Galatians three, third team. So when we look at Galatians three, thirteen, Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law. Being made a curse for us, for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree. When he was hung on Calvary on a cross, a wood cross, he delivered us from the curse of the law, from the sickness and the disease. the old way. First Peter two, twenty-four, the King James Version. Who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness by whose stripes ye were healed. By whose stripes ye were healed. Were is past tense. You have been healed over two thousand years ago with the stripes of Jesus. Begin to praise God for your healing and say that you are healed because the word of God says that you are. Mark five thirty four King James version. And he said unto her daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. Go in peace and be whole of thy plague. Another example of the healing of Jesus. Mark eleven, twenty-three, twenty-four. King James Version. For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Ye shall have them. Healing is your portion. Cancer is not. Sickness is not. Don't accept it. Fight and believe what the word of God says. As right now, I call forth that healing virtue to go into your body. To heal you now in the name of Jesus. That issue with your leg is being healed now in the name of Jesus. Cancer of the throat is being healed now in the name of Jesus. Addiction to opioids, you are being delivered now in the name of Jesus. Let's look at James five, fourteen through sixteen. King James Version. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of the faith shall save the sick. See that? The prayer of the faith shall save the sick. That's you and I joining our faith together, knowing that you've been healed. Don't walk back from it. And the prayer of the faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another and pray one for another that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Availeth much. Now, when we go back to Mark. Eleven, twenty three, twenty four. We also have to look at twenty five. And remember that you have to forgive. If you are holding any bitterness or unforgiveness in your heart towards anyone, it can block the flow of the healing. It can stop your prayers from being answered. It can cause corrosion and erosion of your spirit. And your spirit man can become so depleted that you cannot be healed. So we plead the blood of Jesus over that root of unforgiveness and bitterness towards your fellow man, towards your sister, your brother, towards someone in your circle that you've held a grudge towards. I need you to let that go. I don't know who this word is for, but I want you to let that go. Let it go now. Repent of your sins and know that healing is your portion. Healing is your portion. Now I also want to read Psalm ninety-one. I don't know why I'm obeying father. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God, and him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare and the fowler and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers and under his wing shalt thou trust. His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flyeth by day, nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy sight, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee. Only without eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked, because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most high of thy habitations. There shall no evil befall thee. Now thou shalt, when he pled, come now thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands lest thou dash their foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he has set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him. I will set him on high because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me See that? And I will answer him. I'll be with him in trouble. I'll deliver him and honor him. For long life will I satisfy him and shew him my salvation. Sickness is not our portion. It's not. We get to have an abundant life in Christ Jesus. We get to have that as followers of Christ. Oh, I see you, Denise. It's great to see you. I'm looking at the comments. Thank you so much for watching, for tuning in, for sharing, liking and sharing and following us on all of our channels and platforms. It's great to see you too. And yes, God has done a mighty work in me from the days I worked in the emergency department. That's for sure. He gets all the glory in my life. Thank you again for tuning in. I don't know who this word is for. but I feel it deep in my spirit that you're not to accept the doctor's report, the diagnosis. You're not to accept it. You're to believe in total healing. And remember, the Lord uses the medical profession as healers. He uses them. So don't turn your back On the healing that they've offered. But know he will give you the strength to endure any storm. And the peace in your spirit will let you know. This is the way walk in it. This is what I should do. This is how I should go. I can remember when COVID hit. And I was working as a sexual assault nurse examiner then. The Lord made a way for me to get the vaccine and I got the vaccine because God told me to, the Holy Spirit. Now I will, in full disclosure, let you know that I did not get the booster because again, when I prayed with the Holy Spirit, I was not to get the booster. Everything I take to Jesus, to the Holy Spirit, I pray and seek His wise counsel before I do anything because then I cannot be deceived. And I back it up with the Word of God and what the Word of God says. And remember, love is the greatest commandment of all. And look at the love of Jesus, the love of God the Father, the Father of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the Father of our precious Lord Jesus. who sent his own son to die on the cross for us so that we could have eternal, everlasting life and freedom, freedom from the bondages of sickness and death. You see, I was dead. Even though I was alive, I wasn't living. I was covered in murk and mire and the aftermath of childhood trauma, shame, guilt, self-loathing, fear, regret, so many things. But Christ set me free of all that. Healed me of all my addictions that I used to cope. Healed me of so many things. And I've been on his path, his journey that he has for me. And remember, we have to go through things so that we can bring others through it. You may not know why things are happening to you now, but you have to trust and believe that in his strength, you will endure every trial and you will be brought to a place of peace in the middle of the storm. You just need to look to his word, recite it, go over and over and over it. And every time the devil tries to come in and say, nope, that's not true. You're not going to be healed. You do not accept it. You speak life over yourself and over your circumstances. Do not speak death. Too many of us speak death over ourselves, over our lives. Let's speak life. Let's be positive. Let's walk in the light and not focus on the darkness. He has us even in these challenging times. There's no fear in perfect love. Root deeper into Lord Jesus, into the word of God. Establish that relationship with him to where you call on him all the time because he's waiting. He was waiting on the woman at the well in Samaria and he's waiting on you now. reach out your hand for healing. Trust that you've received it and that this word has brought a confirmation in your spirit, a knowing that you have been healed and delivered by the power of the Lord Jesus Christ. May you see him and not me. May you seek his truth for he is the one that holds the key to the door of everlasting eternal life. All you have to do is knock and that door will be open unto you. He's waiting. He's waiting. He's waiting. God bless you and keep you. I love you and he loves you.
